...BITTERLY COLD TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED THIS WEEKEND...

AN ARCTIC AIR MASS WAS CENTERED OVER ONTARIO EARLY THIS MORNING. 
BITTERLY COLD AIR WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD TO THE SOUTH AND INTO 
EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA, NEW JERSEY, DELAWARE AND NORTHEASTERN MARYLAND 
FOR THE WEEKEND.  THE LEADING EDGE OF THE ARCTIC AIR WILL MAKE IT'S 
WAY THROUGH THE REGION TODAY.  AS A RESULT, WE'LL LIKELY EXPERIENCE 
FALLING TEMPERATURES THIS AFTERNOON.

READINGS SHOULD DROP INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS THROUGHOUT MUCH OF THE 
REGION TONIGHT.  SOME URBAN CENTERS AND MOST LOCATIONS ALONG THE 
COAST ARE EXPECTED TO BOTTOM OUT IN THE TEENS.

ON SATURDAY, EVEN WITH PLENTY OF SUNSHINE, TEMPERATURES ARE ONLY 
FORECAST TO RECOVER INTO THE TEENS, WITH SOME LOWER 20S IN THE 
SOUTH.  UNDER A CLEAR SKIES, WITH LITTLE OR NO WIND, SATURDAY NIGHT 
IS EXPECTED TO BE THE COLDEST PERIOD OF THE ARCTIC OUTBREAK.  
READINGS NEAR OR BELOW ZERO WILL BE COMMON EXCEPT IN URBAN AREAS AND 
RIGHT ALONG THE COAST.

IF YOU WILL BE VENTURING OUT OF DOORS THIS WEEKEND, TAKE THE 
NECESSARY COMMON SENSE PRECAUTIONS TO PROTECT YOURSELF AGAINST THE 
DANGEROUSLY COLD CONDITIONS.

TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO REBOUND TO NEAR NORMAL DURING THE FIRST 
PART OF THE NEW WEEK.
